So after watching Tim and Martha’s video and going over the written instruction, I still felt lost because I didn’t know what website I wanted to look at. I’m big on fashion but fashion is very image focused and Martha warned against websites with too many pictures….So what now? I thought of what Tim said about trusting your sources and knowing where your information is coming from and got the idea to play with a news source. CNN being one of most recognized news sources seemed like an easy target. There was an article on men getting cancer and some of the focus was on what they ate. Somehow my brilliant mind went from that to
couch potatoes and then to men disappearing because they didn't want to do house chores. I bet if they could, men would actually do this. Now I am not a man hating woman but it grinds my gears to see the women in family cooking and cleaning and the men just sit and watch tv. Sooo dad, bro, and uncles and Charles, this is for you!!!
I was able to do this by following the instructions listed
here.
I used fireshot to capture the screen shot (I kinda wish i knew of this nifty lil thing much earlier but that's another story). So the only thing I cheated on was the saving while making changes cause I'd copy, past and save the html but then when I opened it, I got a message that said
"No clickID (partnerID) has been set on this page"... Now whats that about? So here are the results.....Criticize, and Dismantle so I can rebuild and recover (that made no sense but I'm just typing what my brain is thinking of). 
I kept the original links from the article because I thought they related to the report about eating habits of men. I changed the links in the related topic to read more like it had some thing to do with the report. Men and dirty socks are a sub topic of men's household responsibilities and the women's lint issue was just for giggles!!!!
I love the way you re-worked the sotry, and the idea of disappearing men is very interesting to me. May have a tie in with ds106 no? Also, this assignment is also about the details. How do you re-write some of the links, and miscellaneous stuff on that page to frame your story and be that much more compelling.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what the "No clikID (partner ID) is about, did you Google it?
Not bad. I could see this as the result of some kind of scientific study. Where's the link to the page, though?
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Thankfully, I have a husband who helps around the house!
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny! I think you did a really great job changing the links in the related topics field- they go along great with the story line and are hilarious!
